Robert Altman and Garrison Keillor at Makor, October 30, 2006
Like many movie-lovers around the world, we were saddened to learn of the passing of legendary director Robert Altman yesterday. Altman, whose films included MASH, Nashville, The Player and Short Cuts, was an American original and one of the most distinctive filmmakers of his generation. Nominated five times for an Oscar for Best Director, he was awarded an Academy Honorary Award for Lifetime Achievement earlier this year.
We were very lucky to have him here at Makor just a few weeks ago, for a screening and discussion of A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor. Below, listen to a 19-minute clip of excerpts from that evening.
